Russia Says It Will Field a Robot Tank that Outperforms Humans

Russia will start an A.I. arms race and each side will try to attach A.I. to as many weapons as they can.

The Russian military will field a new armed tank-like robot that “outperformed” manned platforms in recent exercises at the Alabino proving
grounds outside Moscow.

That’s what Col. Oleg Pomazuev told the Russian news site “Military Review” in late October. Pomazuev runs the Department of Innovation
Research at the Russian military’s Main Directorate of Research Activities, or GUNID.

The robot, called the Nerehta, can carry a 12.7mm or 7.62mm machine gun or an AG-30M grenade launcher. The Russian colonel did not say which manned
platforms the Nerehta outperformed, but among his service’s vehicles of similar size and armament are the BRDMreconnaissance
vehicle and GAZ Tigr.

We have facial recognition software that can single out one person from thousands of others already in operation and i think there is some talk as to
CCTV cameras being equipped with some form of precrime detection capabilities being trialed in and around some of our larger metropolitan cities.

The technologies, algorithms and artificial intelligence that will drive these new type of weapons systems will obviously be refined over the years to
come but 10-20 years down the line these type of military vehicles will most lightly be in service.
